It's episode 30! Thank you for all the love and support on this journey to date with much more to come.

“I did a lot of work experience in school and university before a radio reporting role at the ABC. It did take perseverance and knocking on doors, which is scary. I learnt a lot about the principles of journalism - persistent, be courteous, keep trying and don’t take no for an answer. Your job is to keep chasing people till you get them on for an interview.”

Take flight into Kellie's journey - learning the importance of hard work early on and having the support of her parents and siblings - with a desire to go into music or radio.

The concept of Flerning - failing & learning, Spending time at Oxford working for reuters learning from smart people around the world, personal setbacks including an injury that affected her ability for a period of time.
